Nominations for Blatter's successor at FIFA:

Prince Ali - is he always e-mailing asking for bank details?
Musa Bility - does he have any?
Jerome Champagne - likes an expense account
Gianni Infantino - needs to grow up
Michel Platini - spell check called him 'platinum', very apt
Sheikh Salman - sounds fishy
Tokyo Sexwale - well hung Jap porn star?

Could there ever be a crazier line-up? All members while corruption was rife. Still, carry on regardless...

Funny Sooper, I was thinking the same, do you need a daft name to apply for this post?
 
Yep, you need a funny name. Just like you need no work experience to be Prime Minister, Chancellor, Leader of the Opposition or Shadow Chancellor - less than 5 years non political non Union work between them, all of it Cameron's time in PR, while he was waiting for a safe seat to become available. Tim Farron, whoever he is, has 10 years 'in higher education' whatever that means. Nicola Sturgeon was a solicitor. For 4 years, i.e she did the filing and carried a bag.

You couldn't make it up.
 
Corbyn was a reporter, and then did VSO....before becoming an employee of the unions
Does that count...Bring back old 4 bellys Prescott, he was a cruise liner steward, before becoming a full time union employee
 
I want to know why we haven't got one of our own on the list ... Steve Claridge for instance.
 
Latest news from FIFA is Blatter has admitted a deal was done for Russia to get 2018 before the vote. A similar deal was done for USA to get 2022 but it went tits-up when Platini backed Qatar after his son got a job with Qatari owned PSG.

Blatter reckons that is why the FBI have gone after FIFA so hard. Whatever way you look at it the whole thing was a stitch-up and I imagine M'Learned friends will be next into the trough...

What a cluster this is. Who's to know what else is bent - competition draws, results - everything that can be sold for individual gain will have been up for auction. And I'm sure that none of them believe they have done anything wrong, bunch of sociopaths.

What an absolute disgrace !!! Bent from top to bottom the whole thing .
 
Says everything about them that they couldn't execute a simple corrupt plot to let the USA get 2022........

Think of the spot fixing in cricket. Bet there's money to be made on who get's who with the bookies. I'm not a betting man so I'm not the most informed, but I can see scope.

I'm in no way a cynical person but one could be forgiven for thinking that this was the reason the FBI got involved

Absolutely, if the USA had been awarded 2022 do you imagine the FBI would scupper it? Now the truth is out will Russia be stripped of the tournament? Of course not, little will change unless a new governing body is formed and we all know that won't happen...

Another one bites the dust. Musa Bility has failed the 'Integrity' test. Rumours his brother Mota may replace him...:grin:
